Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    cuz this is pretty pathetic.
    Nominations are kept secret. However, some people choose to make their nominations publicy, and those nominees are known. I'm not sure where you might find a list.

      Bush, Blair nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
      Saturday, January 31, 2004

      Two of the architects of the Iraq war, United States President George W Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, are among nominees for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize.

      Nominations for the prestigious award close tomorrow.

      After sending thousands of soldiers to war and failing to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Mr Bush and Mr Blair have been put forward to receive the Nobel peace prize.

      They were nominated by Jan Simonsen, an independent member of Norway's Parliament who says the pair got rid of a dictator and made the world safer.

      "Bush and Blair definitely still deserve it," he said.

      "Even though they haven't found those weapons they got rid of a dictator and made the world more safe. They got rid of a madman."

      Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction were a main justification for the war.

      Nobel watchers say neither Mr Bush nor Mr Blair has much chance of winning.

      Other nominees are varied and include: Pope John Paul II; the European Union to mark its expansion to include former East bloc states; the Salvation Army; former Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler; former Czech president Vaclav Havel; former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic; and Chinese dissidents.

      The 2003 prize went to Iranian human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi from a record field of 165 nominees.

      The prize winner is announced in October.

            I've found the journalist who wrote this, she's very intelligent, intelligence completly unknown & misunderstood yet, even by herself.



            She used to be a great physician though. I'm really surprised of how many different fields she's able to deal with

              Xcuse me, do you know exactly who Milosevic is ?

              Here is a (french) definition of crime against humanity:

              Par crime contre l'humanité selon l'article 6 du statut du Tribunal de Nuremberg (Charte de Londres, 8 août 1945, résolution de l'ONU du 13 février 1946)) il faut entendre : l'assassinat, l'extermination (génocide), la réduction en esclavage, la déportation et tous autres actes inhumains commis contre toutes populations civiles, avant ou pendant la guerre (il s'agit donc de la définition d'un crime qui n'existait pas avant cette définition, d'une définition rétroactive), les persécutions pour des motifs politiques, raciaux ou religieux, que ces actes ou persécutions aient constitués ou non une violation du droit interne du pays où ils ont été perpétrés, la participation à l'élaboration ou à l'exécution d'un plan concerté ou d'un complot pour commettre l'un quelconque des crimes ci-dessus définis.

                  It's really on the ABC Online website. See for yourself:

                  Here is the link

                  I don't knoe if it's a joke. People actually nominated some of these people. This journalist is a joke I'm interested to see who's going to win this.... We'll have to wait until October.

                    You make no sense. What does Sting have to do with anything? And anyway, Feliz was defending you from Surfer.... !

                    Feliz, Surfer was talking about Bush not doing anything impeachment-worthy, not Milosevic.

                      Yes, but in the article, Bush is put at the same layer than Milosevic. Milosevic is one of the biggest murderer of the 21th century.
                      For Bush's partisans, it's not what we may say an advantage.
                      For bush opposants, it's simply an offence this guy was nominated.

                      This article does not make any sense. It shouldn't be taken seriously.
                      Common, it's not the grammy awards, it's the Nobel Prize for peace. Why would you think he deserves it ?
